Benefits of technology

The invention helps prevent bubbles from getting into the thick film photoresist pattern during production.

Problems solved by technology

However, the chemically amplified positive-type photoresist composition for thick film as disclosed in Patent Document 3 has been found to have a problem that when the photoresist composition is used to produce a thick film photoresist pattern having a film thickness of no less than 30 μm, the photoresist composition is prone to bubble entrainment (generation of bubbles over a surface of the photoresist layer) during its application or prebaking after the application.

[0172]Examples of the present invention are described below; however, the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited by these examples.

Evaluation of Solvent

[0173]For the respective organic solvents, 2.5 μL of a droplet was prepared, the droplet was contacted with a silicon substrate, a contact angle immediately after the contact was measured three times using a FACE contact angle meter (Kyowa Interface Science; model CA-X150), and the average value of the measurements was calculated. The contact angle and the boiling point at atmospheric pressure are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

A method for producing a thick film photoresist pattern including laminating a thick photoresist layer including a chemically amplified positive-type photoresist composition for thick film on a support; irradiating the thick photoresist layer; and developing the thick photoresist layer to obtain a thick film resist pattern; in which the composition includes an acid generator, a resin whose alkali solubility increases by the action of an acid, and an organic solvent having a boiling point of at least 150° C. and a contact angle on a silicon substrate of no greater than 18°, in an amount of at least 40% by mass with respect to total mass of the organic solvent.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a)-(d) to Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-276382, filed on Dec. 16, 2011, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a method for producing a thick film photoresist pattern.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Photofabrication is now the mainstream of a microfabrication technique. Photofabrication is a generic term describing the technology used for manufacturing a wide variety of precision components such as semiconductor packages. The manufacturing is carried out by applying a photoresist composition to the surface of a processing target to form a photoresist layer, patterning this photoresist layer using photolithographic techniques, and then conducting chemical etching, electrolytic etching, and / or electroforming based mainly on electroplating, using the patterned photoresist layer (photoresist pattern) as a m...
